This 1966 Alfa Romeo Sprint Speciale spent the last 20 years in California in dry storage. It's had two owners and a claimed 46,000 miles. It's not running and needs some mechanical restoration, but it appears to be complete and rust free.

For a (mostly) unrestored car, this is in remarkable shape. I'm pretty certain whoever buys this car will do a complete restoration, but judging by the pictures, you could just do the needed mechanical work, leave the body alone and still have a car you'd be proud to own. It appears to be that nice.

The Sprint Speciale was somewhat controversial when it was introduced. Not everyone liked the styling and it disappointed some people by being more of a GT car than a sports car.

Me? I think it's beautiful and could care less whether it's a GT or sports car. It's a car I'd love to own.
